Carp in the rain

Canvas saggin' Raindrops drummin' Float just quiverin' Line stays hummin' Old Green tarp World shrunk small Steam from the mud Crows still call (Chorus) Carp in the rain Life in the slow lane Boots in the puddles Heart feelin' so plain Carp in the rain Nothing that I'd change Little splash Little laugh Washin' out my brain (Verse 2) Here come trouble Headlights crawl Two lost angels Fresh from a brawl Talkin' bout aliens Taxes and fame Hands smell of petrol Eyes full of flame They spark cheap smokes (yeah man) Ash on their trainers Keys in their hands (Chorus) Carp I'm the rain Life in the slow lane Boots in the puddles Heart feelin' so strange Carp in the rain Breath on the windowpane Hear their engine fade out Just a tired refrain (Bridge) I watch 'em go Tail lights smear Think to myself "Wish they'd stayed here" Not in that car Out in this field Where the worst we can do Is bend a reel (Verse 3) Grill kicks off Little hiss Little spark Sweet smokes curling Through the damp dark Corn on foil Burgers on wire Friends round the glow Eyes soft with fire Pass that blessing Round and round Devil's lettuce Liftin' of the ground (Chorus) Carp in the rain Laughin' to the downpour Grease on our fingers Stories we've told before Carp in the rain Washed of the days pain Under this tired tarp I feel sane again.
